PR, don’t simplify things to bolster your stance. What we are seeing in this Harvey saga is about as brutal as it gets. And it’s getting worse by the minute. This man was a predator of the worst means, and scary by the way. I have personally felt his wrath of intimidation. I am no fan of his. This coming out is very important.

But what I am saying is that you cannot be silent when men behave the way Trump did on that recording. You cannot be selective about sexual harassment. An unwanted kiss is disgusting too. An unwanted advance when you are married is disgusting too.

For what it's worth, and I'm not rationalizing, but let's not pretend that treating Hollywood starlets like sides of beef began with fat, pock-marked Harvey. There's a reason why they referred to the sofa in a studio producer's office as the "casting couch".

Selznick, Mayer, and (I would certainly bet) many others who were running studios were all guilty of this abuse going back 100 years. Stories about the abuse of Judy Garland are out there. God knows what the likes of Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, Lana Turner, etc. had to put up with.

I wouldn't be surprised if obese, pock-marked Harvey was simply emulating his heroes.
